Hey, Dagg! What type of wood did you use for the trim?

Dagg posted on 01/21/2014

Thanks Q-Tiki and Slacks

Big K, that's a good question... I'm pretty sure it's spruce it's labelled as SPF

Ive also used knotty pine for bigger pieces and western red cedar for outside stuff.

lol :)

So i picked up this setup last week for smaller more detailed shit, still on the fence whether I like it or not....

I wanted to make some trim for my "Maori wall" so I ripped some 2x4 on the table saw to 1/4" and routed these (with the Ryobi)

And this one using both routers (3" wide by 1/4")

Stained em

and tacked them up, still need to make 4 more small pieces. Blurry..

Thanks for lookin
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Again.. thanks so much for the kind words!

Ive been meaning to post an update, so here we go.

Re-working this end of the bar and finally installing the tiles I bought at OA in Dec! still need to tie them.

Gained some space here for (guest) mugs

Made a small fold down table, still need to install it

Made a bunch of signs, some for me some for friends.

Some PNG/Disney inspired trim

working on this currently

Also currently working on a virtual ship in a bottle, loosely based on Traders Sam's

A projected(peppers ghost effect)ship will appear floating in the middle of the large bottle (plastic carboy) and every hour a storm will hit sinking the ship. The audio will trigger lightning effects in the ceiling (old school color organ)
Thats plan A... have a B and C as well just in case :wink:
I will post pics of that when the project is farther along..

thats it for now.
Thanks again

Very cool routing work Dagg! I was in Trader Vics last night and saw some of the green tiles like you have so nicely displayed. Anyone know how they became popular tiki decor?
